PTO President
We've been part of the ASE family for 6 years and this is my second year as President. I have an 8th and 6th grader at ASE. I'm a Realtor full time, growing and building my own business. I love helping families as they go forward into their next chapters. My kiddos are involved with various activities so if I'm not selling houses, then I'm running to baseball, robotics, or whatever school event they are wanting to participate in. AND then when thats done, I read or garden whenever I get the chance.
​
I'm BIG picture and a bit of a dreamer when it comes to my ideas for the PTO. I'm the main source of communication with parents and staff and any outside entity participating in our fundraisers. My passion is creating community and friendships amongst families and possibly even staff. I want you to feel at home at ASE and offer all the fun memory making activities for your children. If you have a question, I'll do my best to answer it.

Secretary
My name is Diana Graham and I am a wife (10 years), mother (6 years), and full time Educator/Instructor (14 years) for a collegiate Dental Hygiene program here in Albuquerque. My son is the only "tiny human" in our family and is starting his 1st grade year at ASE.
We have loved this school since we began and wish to see continued growth and success. I want to participate in the PTO to continue the efforts already started by the organization to develop a fun sense of community that focuses on a relationship with parents and teachers to meet the needs of everyone at the school. I'll be documenting meetings and helping with events.

VP
2022/2023's acting PTO president. Dena has been at ASE for 5 years. She has a 4th grader and future ASE kiddo.
​
Dena is a giver. She is a newborn specialist supporting families in caring for their newborns. When not with newborns at night, she's a nanny during the day. Her son is immunocompromised and often ill, yet she'll also be the first one to volunteer to help out with picking up stuff for events, getting our shopping done, or helping out other clubs.

Parliamentarian
Hello, my name is Natalie Archuleta, I’ve volunteered a few times last year to help with events. I'm now parliamentarian for the PTO board. My job is to know the bylaws and make sure we follow them to the T.
I have three children, 16, 12 and 3. One attends ASE. I work as a mortgage loan originator at VanDyk Mortgage and my passion is helping first time buyers in the process of becoming new homeowners. I like to volunteer when I can and I enjoy DIY projects. I am fortunate to have a flexible work schedule, so I feel that putting extra time to something that’s helping our students will be very rewarding.

Treasurer
Hi! I am Shannon Baros! I have a husband Fitz
who I have been with for almost 11 years. We
have two beautiful girls, Zoey (almost 6) and
Kali (3). We love animals and have five of them.
For fun we go camping every chance we get.
I also love to cook and to watch competitive
cooking shows as well as anything Bravo. Zoey
will be a 1st grader this year and absolutely
loves ASE. We are looking forward to the years
to come at ASE.
​
This year I will be Treasurer for the PTO and making sure all our accounts are organized and well documented. As I am an accountant for my profession, it seemed the best place to get started!
